The Harvester World

TRUE BELIEVERS By D, M. Motley, Blockman Below is a picture of Earl Whitnell, the hustling young manager of Whitnell & Company, Brojkfield,
Mo. Mr. Whitnell and his father, until two years ago, were big successful farmers in Iowa and Missouri. They decided to go into the implement business, and located at Brookfield, Mo. You willseefromthe amount of business done with the I H C in 1911, that they are not only good hustlers but they sure be¬ lieve in I H C goods. Their first pioneer orderf or creani separators was for twenty —some jump.
They handle the Mc¬ Cormick machines, Blue¬ bell Cream Harvesters, gasoline engines, Weber and Bettendorf wagons, Osborne harrows, Clover- [leaf s])readers. Keystone shellers, hay loaders, tedders, in fact, they are always glad to handle anything the IHC makes. Their account for 1911 was $17,500.
We are certainly very proud of their business and hope they will continue in business for many years to come.

PROCESSION OF WAGONS
MADISON COUNTY MERCHANTS "TREKKING" EASTWARD
WITH BIGGEST BILL OF MERCHANDISE EVER
SOLD IN ROGERS
From the Republican Journal, Rogers, Ark., October 10, 1911
A remarkable train is slowly wending its way through the liills of Benton and Madison counties enroute to Huntsville. The procession consists of forty-three wag¬ ons, twenty of which are new Weber wagons and every one of the vehicles is loaded to its capacity with hard¬ ware from the wholesale department of the Benton
County Hardware Company of ttiis city, consigned to Madison county merchants. In addition to the twenty wagons which comprised a car, there are fiS.OCX) jjounds of merchandise, including wire fence, harrows, axes, harness, and other merchandise.
At an early hour this morning, the streets aljout the warehouses of the hardware company gave the appear¬ ance of a circus ground. The majority of the Madison county contingent arrived last night, and this morning all was confusion as the men were anxious to start back on their thirty-five mile haul. The teams that had come over "light" were hitched to the new wagons which had previously been set uj), and these were loaded with merchandise. In all, the procession that is now bound for Huntsville, comprises forty-three wagons and as many men and teams. The task of getting these off was a stupendous one, but Ike Caldwell and his force kejjt everybody busy and all got away in good time.

GASOLINE TRACTOR EXCURSION
OVER EIGHTY YOUNG PEOPLE TAKE HAYRACK RIDE
TO MAPLE GROVE
From the Plainville, Kas,, Times
The excursion to Maple Grove last evening on the Traction Fast Line was an immense success. The streets were crowded on the departure of the train more than they have been an evening for many a day. Seventy-four tickets were sold at the terminal station and quite a number of additional passengers boarded the Hayrack Special before it got outside of the city limits.
Through the courtesy of the International Harvester Company of America and their local agents, Ellis & Schwald, the large gasoline tractor stationed here be¬ longing to them was obtained. Two large hayracks were hitched on and wei-e soon filled with passengers. Large banners advertising the trip were hung over the engine and racks and all together presented an inspir¬ ing scene.
Robert Caywood acted as conductor; Lewis McClay and Roy Sawyer as porters; Elmer Norris and Edgar Case as newsboys; Getty Anderson as engineer; and F. Seefeld, fireman.
Nearly one hun¬ dred went on the trip. About eighty- five on the traction special, and quite a number more in autos.
The young people are certainly under obligations to the H arvester people and Ellis & Schwald for their courtesy in loaning the en¬ gine. The stunt was certainly an original one and woke the old town up. The Y. P. S. C. E. will clear a neat sum as
a result. A. Puryear, one of the big ones—a crony

Harvester World magazine was first published by International Harvester Company in October of 1909. From 1909 to 1946, Harvester World functioned primarily as an employee magazine, carrying news from various factories, branch houses and dealerships around the world. The magazine included biographical sketches of employees; notices of retirements and promotions; announcements regarding new company initiatives or building projects; and a variety of other news relating to nearly every facet of the company’s world wide operations. The magazine was published by the company’s Advertising Department, and also functioned as a way for headquarters to communicate with dealerships. In 1946, the magazine was redesigned and eventually shifted from an employee magazine to a more customer-oriented focus. By the 1950s, most Harvester Articles were human interest stories centering on the people and organizations who used International Harvester products. At the same time, photography became an increasingly important element in the content and presentation of the magazine. The magazine was discontinued in 1969.
